Most non dairy milks will not work as they are not thick enough to “whip up”. The best option is canned coconut milk.
You place a 14 ox can of coconut milk (ususally found in the asian foods section) in the refrigerator overnight. Also place bowl and beaters of the mixer in the refridgerator. The thick cream of the coconut milk wil float to the top of the can. Open the can and scoop the cream out into the refrigerated bowl (about 2/3 of the can) beat on high until whipped to perfection. 🙂 This does no led a coconut flavor as coconut milk generally has a very mild flavor.
follow all other recipe directions as specified.

Thanks, Kendra! For this recipe you don’t actually whip the cream though, so I think a non-dairy milk would work, it’s just for the icing. I have wanted to try the dairy-free whipped ‘cream’ for a while though, so thanks for the instructions. 🙂

Ahhhhh I should have read the steps for the filling also. oops. That’s what happens when I assume. I make a whipped filling for our oatmeal cream pies form canned coconut milk and it is dairy free, and gluten free, and soy free, and peanut free. LOL

A bit late, I realize, I thought I posted my review. These taste wonderful. Tried on non GF family members. My brother in law said they tasted better than the famous filled peanut butter cookies. I have never cared much for pbutter cookies but i could not quit eating these.

Wonder if almond butter would work. It has such a mild flavor. It tends to be just a tiny bit thinner than pbutter. I use it to make a paleo cookie and is very nice. Sun butter might work too since it is mild flavored as well. They just cost more. A number of stores have a grind your own almond butter spot.

I can’t begin to tell you how well received these cookies were!No one. No one knew they were GF! I even liked them and even though I’m GF,I mostly hate GF stuff! If you have a bread recipe this good, I will never eat anything else!!!!!! So good. I didn’t need to bring APF into to my house to impress my friends Thank you so much!!!

I am not a sweets person but I love to bake and I must say these cookies created a sensation at work. Everyone loves them even though they are GF. No one could tell. I have made these at least 7 times in the last year. Perfect every time. thanks for the awesome recipe.
